English Description:

Un aleteo de esperanza by Cynthia Harmony, illustrated by Devon Holzwarth, is a tender picture book that parallels the migration of monarch butterflies with a young girl’s longing for her father’s return. Lucía watches the skies from her home in Mexico, hoping the butterflies—and her papá, who has gone north to find work—will come back when the weather turns cold. Through poetic Spanish-language text and vibrant illustrations, the story celebrates familial love, resilience, and the natural rhythms that connect us across borders. With 32 pages, it’s ideal for readers ages 4–8 and a beautiful resource for bilingual classrooms.
